An exploration in sociopathy

First — it is now possible to objectively/scientifically recognize psychopaths (which will, I’m convinced, support Martha Stout’s cited estimate of 4% or 1 in 25 being a psychopath, ((K. Barry et al. (1997), R. Bland, S. Newman, H. Orn (1988), J. Samuels et al. (1994)), and my anecdotal agreement (from recognizing psychopaths waiting for the subway, at street corners, in the workplace, etc.). Second — their unhappy response to this, i.e., their machinations to seize power over the rest of us – political, economic, and through the surveillance built into the internet of things of great utility and convenience. Surveillance that can close like a vise on any chosen target. We carry our own handcuffs with us.

“If you want a vision of the future, imagineabootstampingon a human face – forever.” – George Orwell. The Fabian, George Orwell, was a psychopath writing how-to books, as was Aldous Huxley also. H.G. Wells of The Time Machine with the Eloi and Morlocks was also a Fabian and a psychopath. The books seem to understand our plight from our own standpoint but only because psychopaths have something called “cold empathy.” They know exactly how their targets will experience their attacks, it helps them ‘twist the stiletto’.

Think what 1 in 25 being psychopaths mean. It means that for every group of 25 that you’ve ever known, there was probably one psychopath. It means we all walk shoulder to shoulder everyday with psychopathic beings who have zero fellow human feelings, emotionless, guiltless beings who see our emotional responses as weakness and know how to use them against us.
